JSR 303 Validation groups are ignored for DDL generation (of @NotNull) about ebean

[rbygrave]

I agree with this as a BUG / ENHANCEMENT. I might adjust the title to reflect that this is a DDL generation issue.

Cheers, Rob.

Looking at this some more I think we can classify this as a BUG.

In terms of the solution ...

solution would be to add a configuration parameter to ebean - which validation group should be used for schema generation

Actually I think instead of this it could/should be that to generate the DDL Not Null constraint there needs to be no validation group defined or that 1 validation group is defined and it is assignable to javax.validation.groups.Default. If this is the case we can say that for every row the Not Null constraint can be applied (and hence we can DDL generate the Not Null constraint).

Pushed commit c176e4f ... into MASTER as the fix for this issue.

Let me know if you are happy enough with the fix and if so we'll close this issue.

Cheers, Rob.

Actually I'll just close this at this point - I'm pretty satisfied that we don't need the configuration support etc.

Let me know if you are looking for some adjustment to the commit that is now in master.

Cheers, Rob.

Hi,

wow, thanks for fixing it that quickly!

This is perfect for me. I don't need any additional configuration parameters, just thought that it may come in handy in some use-cases. I'm happy with fixes provided by you.
